Make and share this Potato and Cheese Omelette recipe from Food.com.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Potato

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 medium cooked potato, cut into large cubes (can be leftover boiled, baked or nuked)
1/2 cup of grated cheese (I like a combo of cheddar/gouda/edam, but you can use just one kind)
2 -3 eggs (depending on how hungry you are)
1 tablespoon butter (or 1 tblsp olive oil)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan.
  • When hot, add potato and cook until golden-brown and crusty on all sides.
  • Beat up eggs in a small bowl with very little salt (the cheese has plenty) and freshly ground pepper.
  • Lower heat of stove, add eggs to pan and give them a good stir, a couple of times, bringing up cooked eggs from bottom, but redistributing uncooked eggs and potatoes.
  • Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
  • Let cook until golden-brown on bottom.
  • Run spatula down center, and carefully fold one half over the other creating a half-moon (sometimes you don't get a perfect half-moon, but it still tastes good anyway!).
  • Turn off heat and let omelette sit in pan for 30 seconds to a minute (depending on how well you want your eggs done) and then carefully turn over and allow 30 more seconds.
  • Allow to cool about 4-5 minutes before tucking in (this seems to allow the flavours to blend better).

SPANISH POTATO OMELET



Spanish Potato Omelet image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 small onions, sliced
5 small Yukon gold potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 large eggs, at room temperature
6 cloves garlic, chopped
6 large pimiento-stuffed olives, thinly sliced or coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
3/4 cup coarsely chopped or crumbled feta (about 3 ounces)
Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce, recipe follows
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus sprigs for garnish
One 15-to-16-ounce bottle roasted red bell peppers, drained, juices reserved
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup Marcona almonds or hazelnuts, toasted
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Add 2/3 cup water and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Scrape the potato mixture into a large bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Wipe out and reserve the skillet. The potato mixture can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature.
  • Combine the eggs, garlic, olives, parsley, thyme and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large bowl. Fold in the cheese and the cooled potato mixture.
  • Preheat the broiler. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture, spreading evenly. Cook, uncovered, until the sides are set and the top edge begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Run a flexible heatproof rubber spatula around the sides of the pan to loosen the omelet. Cover tightly; reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the center is almost set, about 5 minutes.
  • Broil the omelet until the top is fully cooked and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the omelet rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the omelet again around the sides and underneath as far as possible. Slide the omelet onto a platter and garnish with parsley and thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature with Quick and Easy Romesco Sauce.
  • Combine the bell peppers, oil, tomato paste, almonds, vinegar, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until the sauce is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, blend in the reserved roasted bell pepper juice, 1 teaspoonful at a time, to thin out the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. The sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.

SOUTHWESTERN POTATO AND CELERY OMELET



Southwestern Potato and Celery Omelet image

This spicy omelet is much lighter than traditional cheese-packed Southwestern omelets. You don't need much oil to pan-fry this small amount of finely diced potato, and a little cheese goes a long way.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, for one, main course

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 stalk celery, cut in small dice
1 small potato (1 1/2 ounces), cut in 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 serrano pepper, minced (seeded if desired)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) grated Monterey Jack

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat in an 8-inch omelet pan and add the celery. Cook 1 minute, until it begins to soften, and add the potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring often, until potatoes are lightly browned and just about tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in the chili and continue to cook, stirring, until the potato is tender, another 2 or 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Break the eggs into another bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, chives, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the omelet pan to medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the potato mixture down the middle of the "pancake" and top with the Monterey Jack, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate.
